Friday Box Office: Not So Funny

embracefunnyp.jpg

Judd Apatow's Funny People looks like it's headed for the low end of its expectations for the weekend, collecting $8.6 million on its opening day and working toward an estimated $24 million three-day total. The Ugly Truth may have siphoned some of Universal's cash away with a better-than-expected Friday, and as totally expected, the guinea pigs of G-Force are making short work of Fox's embarrassing Aliens in the Attic. Horror fans rallied around Orphan, failing to boost the $1.3 million-grossing The Collector even into the top 10. Dog days indeed.
